Opening in April 2026, Ormond Sandakan introduces our new vision of "essential comforts, thoughtfully delivered" to the edge of the town’s storied shoreline. Located at the Sandakan Bay waterfront, the hotel is a refined coastal retreat designed for modern guests who appreciate a laid-back lifestyle paired with warm, dependable hospitality. With 299 guest rooms and suites framed by natural textures and calming tones, the space captures the changing moods of the horizon—from gentle mornings over the water to golden sunsets. It is a place where simplicity is done well, offering an atmosphere of effortless ease and a genuine sense of calm after a day spent exploring.
While the hotel sits in the heart of the heritage town centre, it serves as an inviting sanctuary between city life and Borneo’s wilder reaches. From here, you can easily access the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre to come face-to-face with iconic wildlife like the sun bear, or venture toward the Kinabatangan River to find pygmy elephants and proboscis monkeys among the lush flora and fauna. Whether you’re enjoying fresh Mediterranean seafood at Pietro or local Sabahan flavors at Rasa, the experience is rooted in the authentic, unhurried rhythm of the land and sea.
